about

A haunting lyric from "Motherless Child" was the inspiration for the album's title, which seemed to sum up the album quite well. Lovespirals' gorgeously moody cover of the anonymous American Spiritual classic was the first single from the album, spawning an extended single featuring remixes by Karmacoda, MoShang, and Hungry Lucy, amongst others.

lyrics

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long ways from home
A long, long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
A long, long ways from home
A long, long way from home

True believer, a long way from home
A long, long way from my home
A long, long way from my home

– Anonymous American spiritual arranged by Anji Bee (BMI)
